"Put Up Or Shut Up” JlflL Share MRUS It MMM| There’s an election coming up, People.Hdw many of you are' registered voters? Os you registered voters, how many of you exercise your rights? Os the number who do not exercise your rights, how many complaints do you have about our local government? Well, keep your mouths shut. Because, when you neglect your duty and rights as a citizen of this community, you lose your right to complain or protest. You’ve all heard the old saying “either put up or shut up,” haven’t you. I’ve heard many people say, “my vote won’t count.” Can you imagine a thousand people thinking that same thought? It could turn the tide either way. But you must make a decision; be it right or wrong. Think about the problems confronting your community - there is such a thing as common sense. Many elections are won by the wrong individuals because thousands of people felt “their vote wouldn’t count.” Your nower to vote is one of the few individual rights you have left - use it. When you see a person in a public office who has been doing a good job, and fullfilling his or her nlatform. sunnort them. How often have you said to yourself, “If I just had a little more time?” Sometimes that two, three or four years just isn’t enough time to clean up all there is to clean up. Think about it for a while. There are several questions one should ask one’s self when election time rolls around. Am I satisfied with the job that’s being done? Are the ones in office running again? Who’s running against them? What are the differences between them? If a Black is running against another Black already in office, has the one already in office been effective? What are the credentials of the new Black running?? Think....think....think. Do we excuse politicians from having morals? After all, they will be making decisions governing the lives of us and our children. Don’t ever feel you are not qualified to determine the destination of you and your children. If not YOU, then WHO? You and only you have the power to decide which way you will vote. Do your thing and let your voice be heard -- VOTE!

Toote, HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Equal Opportunity, pledged Wednesday to members of the National Newspaper Publishers Association to make equality in housing, employment and business a reality for all minorities, women and the poor. Launching the first of a series of briefings to acquaint civic, business and community leaders throughout the Nation with the responsibilities of her office, Dr. Toote told the publishers in the opening remarks: “In the past you have been neglected. I assure you this will not be an omission of my office.” She asked the publishers for their cooperation in bringing to the attention of Americans the asnonsnoncuouoraaxnoram Amvets Post 616 Monda y 9th & Walton Way Sept 17th LEROY LLOYD Wednesday Sept 19th STOP INFINITY OSH ®IJO Thursday Sept. 20th roRRpJ THE MONICOS Friday Sept 21th LEROY LLOYD - Sept 22th TOM JONES RGAN <3?

The program’s Board of Advisors, composed of the national presidents of women’s clubs, is headed by Mrs. Dexter Otis Arnold, honorary president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The purpose of the Outstanding Young Women of America program is to recognize young women between the ages of 21 and 35 for their exceptional contributions to their professions, communities and programs and policies for equal opportunities in housing, employment, and business. “There is no question that there is a housing problem,” Dr. Toote said. “We will dehumanize too many Americans in the structures we build.” Besides improvements in housing, minorities also must have socio-economic advice, she said. “Where HUD money is spent, poor people will be helped,” she vowed. She told the publishers she has a “broad mandate” under the 1968 Civil Rights Law that created her office, the 1964 Civil Rights law and Presidential executive orders - to acquire blacks, women, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and poor people, of whatever race, creed or color, the right to decent Delegates To Jack And Jill Regional Conference S' .

The HUD official vowed to extend equal opportunity to Indians. “If we allow any percentile of the American population to be degraded or ignored, it creeps like a germ affecting the total population,” she said. Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett, publisher of the San Francisco Sun Reporter and NNPA president, told Dr. Toote “this is the first time I’ve seen a woman take the legislative mandate of her office so seriously.” Goodlett said the “sickness of America, racism, has denied minorities adequate shelter.” He called the government the prime “perpetrator”, and said the “legacy of HUD is bleak” Green’s Do Unto Other As You Would Have Them Do Street Phone 722-9987 | Attention , |To have the' JNews-Review 1 {delivered to] j your door I I Call ! 1722-4555 1 WKZ9MHMMI w ill v Jr ls J I ij- . y ■ HflflflMHE WB - KI .flkL fl Someone you know sells Avon.
